Going back to the off set axis gimbal fulcrum which will have about 3 degrees of lateral movement, giving the rotor disc about 5 to 7 degrees of lateral tilt as the hub/disc are a bit higher on the mast above the gimbal fulcrum
Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but if the gimbal tilts 3 degrees, it's 3 degrees no matter how close or far from the pivot point. Obviously the distance of movement is larger the farther from the pivot but the angle change will be the same.
